Fight The Filter Hits Election Mode

There was a big announcement on Saturday morning that has the potential to impact us all. And no, I'm not talking about free bumpers for the iPhone 4. I'm talking about the fact that the Prime Minister called for an election on August 21, which means our Fight the Filter campaign is officially entering election mode!

With just over a month left before we all hit the polls, we've decided to spend the next few weeks refocusing our efforts on delivering great articles to you explaining the failures of the Government's filter policy. With the election occurring just over a week after our planned Fight the Filter day of action, we've decided to shift focus away from a call to action – which would have a limited effect in that last election week - and instead redouble our efforts at providing the best possible arguments against the filter.

We will be providing some more detailed arguments in the coming weeks, but it's important to remember that the filter is a senate issue, and it's therefore extremely important that you make your vote count by voting below the line. And as we've already indicated you need to make sure you are enrolled to vote. You'll need to have enrolled by 8pm tonight if you want to make your voice heard this election, so stop what you're doing and enrol right now.

After a rocky start with the Pixel 1 (which remains one of the ugliest phones made this decade), a big—but still not fully realised — improvement on the Pixel 2, the Pixel 3 came out and finally made good on Google’s homegrown phone initiative.

Mark Rober really loves to build things. So when this home electronics tinkerer discovered that some neighbourhood thieves were ripping off Amazon packages from his porch, he did what any self-respecting former NASA engineer would do: He built a glitter bomb made to look like a boxed-up Apple HomePod, and he built it to capture video of the entire thing.
